About the Role

The Company is seeking a Senior Counsel with a focus on M&A to join its legal team. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading and managing all legal aspects of global M&A transactions, including negotiations, deal structuring, and post-closing integration. This role requires the ability to provide expert legal guidance and business-focused advice to senior leadership and cross-functional teams, ensuring compliance with laws and regulations. The Senior Counsel will also be involved in strategic transactions, such as joint ventures and investments, and must be adept at identifying and mitigating risks during the due diligence process. Applicants for the Senior Counsel position should have a minimum of 10 years' experience, with a J.D. from a top-tier law school and a strong background in M&A. The role demands a resourceful self-starter who is comfortable in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and can build strong relationships with internal stakeholders across multiple locations. The ideal candidate will be a member of a state bar in good standing, with a proven track record of providing concise, actionable legal advice, and the ability to manage multiple projects with minimal supervision. Staying current on legal developments and industry trends is essential, as is the ability to lead initiatives to improve and scale M&A processes.
